Anti-NATO protests

Two Anti-NATO demonstrations took place on Friday afternoon. A crowd of anarchists marched from Namesti Miru Square towards the Congress Centre - the main venue of the summit - and back, and a meeting of right-wing nationalists ended at around 4 pm on Old Town Square in the historic centre of Prague. No violence was reported from the demonstrations or those that took place on the previous days.

The NATO summit took place amid tight security measures. Around 12,000 policemen were stationed in the streets of Prague, equipped with water cannons and riot gear, and police helicopters were patrolling over the city. Also border police turned away more than 300 would-be protesters at the Czech border.
